PC Perspective has completed a review of the Asus N7800GT DUAL. This monster of a graphics card puts two GeForce 7800GT GPUs onto a single card.

The Asus N7800GT DUAL performs at nearly identical levels to a standard 7800 GT SLI setup. As there is no performance penalty for putting both GPUs on a single card, users who were planning on getting two 7800 GT cards can now get the same level of performance on a single card, saving space in their system for additional components.

And while this might be stretching the rules just a bit, Asus can now lay claim to having the absolute fastest single video card on the market today! Sure it happens to have two GPUs on it, but who cares? It wastes the 7800 GTX and the X1800 XT/XL cards in terms of performance in nearly all cases.



What you neeed for doing this....

Two 7800 GT GPUs (running in optional SLI mode)
430 MHz core clock
1.2 GHz memory clock
512 MB DDR3 memory (256 MB per GPU)
Dual DVI and Dual VGA outputs
TV output with HDTV support

IMO, unless one buys a board like ASUS P5WD2-Premium or K8N-E Deluxe, buying SLied Cards is better option.

Dual technology is the wave of the future soon enough everything will be dual, dual monitors, processors, graphic cards etc.

It already is sonjoy, Dual AMD Opterons can ALREADY be purchased, SLi is starting to get common, people already use Dual Hard Drives and Run them in RAID, Dual Memory sticks are usual, and Dual Monitors are used by every designer:D so Future is "already" Dual Mate:)
